Sailed on the Pacific twice - once as cadet and then again as 3rd and 2nd mate and have many fond memories of the people and place. she was never the same after subic. I also know a Chief Engineer who has built a R-C scale model of her, pretty impressive.
The sparky who made the video was quite a character. he used to wear a top hat with a stuffed parrot on his shoulder during berthing and departure. got a lot of funny looks from the pilots, i can tell you.
